Terms of service

What the service is

openzoo routes requests to language, image and video models and charges per call. It also runs a memory service: you send a body of text once, and later questions retrieve the relevant parts instead of resending the whole thing. There is no account and no API key — a call is authenticated by the payment that pays for it.

Payment settles before the model answers

This is the most important thing on this page. A call is priced, paid on chain, and only then forwarded upstream. If the model returns something useless, empty, or wrong, the payment has already settled and it is not refundable. That is a property of paying per request on a public blockchain, not a policy we could reverse if we wanted to.

Quotes are free and unpaid — check a price before you commit to it. Every reply also carries what the call cost and what the same call would have cost buying it direct, so the arithmetic is checkable rather than asserted.

Pricing is cost plus a share of whatever was saved, and it is bounded by construction: it can never come out below what the call cost us, and never above what buying the same call yourself would cost. Prices can change without notice; the quote you are shown is the price for that call.

TOKEN and LEOS are payment rails, not investments

Nothing here is financial advice and neither token is an offer of any security. TOKEN and LEOS exist so a call can be paid without a card. They are volatile, they can go to zero, and holding one entitles you to nothing beyond the ability to spend it here. Do not treat anything on this site as a reason to buy either.

The free tier is a gift

Sponsored calls are paid from a wallet we fund, so anyone can try the service without one of their own. It is rate limited — a few calls a minute, a few hundred a day, with a per-call ceiling — and those limits can change or stop at any time without notice. Building something that depends on the free tier staying free is not a good idea. Use your own wallet for anything that matters.

Acceptable use

Do not use openzoo to:

• —break the law, or help anyone else do so
• —send us other people's personal data, credentials, or anything you do not have the right to share — particularly into an unsigned bind, which is a shared space
• —generate material that sexualises children, or that is designed to harass, defraud or impersonate a real person
• —attack the service — evading rate limits, exhausting the sponsored tier, or probing for a way to spend someone else's balance
• —resell access in a way that breaches the terms of the upstream providers whose models you are ultimately using

We can refuse or cut off service to an address that does any of this, and we do not owe an explanation first.

Model output comes with no warranty

We do not write the models and we do not check what they say. Output can be wrong, biased, offensive, or confidently invented, and you are responsible for checking anything you rely on. Retrieval returns a ranked selection rather than a whole corpus, so an answer drawn from a bind covers what was retrieved and not necessarily everything you sent.

The service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. We do not promise it will be available, that any particular model will keep being served, or that a bound corpus will be retained indefinitely.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or lost data arising from your use of the service. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to what you paid us in the thirty days before the claim — which, given calls cost fractions of a cent, is usually a very small number. That is not a trick; it is the honest scale of the relationship.

Your content

Text you bind or send stays yours. You give us only the permission needed to run the service: to store it, to retrieve from it, and to forward the relevant parts to the model provider you chose. We do not train models on it and we do not sell it. Deleting a corpus removes it from our memory service — see the privacy page for how, and for what cannot be deleted.

Changes and termination

These terms can change; the date at the top moves when they do. We can modify or discontinue any part of the service at any time. You can stop using it whenever you like — there is no subscription to cancel, because there was never one to start.
